As a high performance, low cost public chain platform, Ontology is focusing on providing secure, reliable and privacy-respecting decentralized identity and data solutions for Web3. Today, we officially announce the opening of our Berlin, Germany office to provide infrastructure and tools for Web3 development in Europe.

With the increasing influence of Web3, more and more users and developers around the world are pouring into Web3 to contribute to the ecosystem. Europe, on the other hand, has always been one of the largest clusters of blockchain enthusiasts in the world, and continues to provide blockchain related services, infrastructure and technology for Web3. Berlin, in particular, not only hosted the 2019 Web3 Summit, but also was the birthplace of most blockchain projects and activities in Europe, greatly promoting the development of the European blockchain industry. Berlin has attracted more than $13 billion in investment since 2016.

At the same time, the voice and practice of data privacy and protection are increasing in Europe. In recent years, Europe has passed legislation such as the GDPR to enhance data privacy and protection; In addition, the European Commission has endorsed "digital identities as a more secure and convenient means of storing and exchanging citizens' data."

Ontology believes that both the industry background and the policy environment give Germany a key strategic position in the field of blockchain and Web3. Therefore, an office in Germany will provide the best environment for the European expansion of the ontology ecosystem -- we can leverage Germany's influence in Web3 and better talent and resources to provide decentralized solutions for European users and regulators, bringing support to the improvement of privacy protection in Europe.

In response, Gloria WU, head of Ontology Global Ecological Development, said: "Europe is at the forefront of Web3 and technology innovation, and its continued focus on improving user privacy and security is aligned with Ontology's mission. By opening our new office in Berlin, we are excited to contribute to the more secure networks Europe has been working to create. "We look forward to expanding our ecosystem across Europe and looking for a range of new partners, community members and employees to contribute to the ecosystem. We have already created a number of recruitment positions."

Although this is ontology's first office in Europe, we have long established a long-term presence in The European market with the development of Welcome Home, an in-car system designed to enhance the driving experience, in partnership with Daimler, Mercedes' parent company.

It then partnered with bloXmove, a European mobile mobility blockchain platform. By integrating the ONTOLOGY's DID protocol, the platform can provide users with an identifier to share their verifiable credentials, such as driver's licenses, passports, and so on, privately, securely, and encrypted.

In addition, in Berlin, Ontology is collaborating with the Hochschule Fr Technik und Wirtschaft (HTW) University to explore joint research and teaching programmes with a view to developing some customized blockchain applications.

Today, the advantages of strong privacy protection, high transparency and credibility, fast block generation, and low processing fees enable ontology-based blockchains to provide users and businesses with flexible, on-demand blockchain solutions and security compliance. Onton-based decentralized identity solutions are also providing users with more affordable applications, such as ONT ID (ontid.ont.io), which helps users take full control of their digital identity, with more than 1.5 million users in September 2021. ONTO (onto.app) allows users to securely create and manage their identities, data and digital assets.

It is foreseeable that with the establishment of the Berlin office, the global ecosystem of ontology will continue to expand. And our goal, "to be the blockchain of choice for Web3 applications", will be accelerated by Berlin's influence and resources!
